"THE PARADOX OF THE PROJECT
IN RELATION TO THE LIVING:
The ecological story in the Anthropocene era."
Master Thesis
We are experiencing an ecological crisis which re-question our ways of living. Cities are in difficulty with the emergence of new climates characteristic of the Anthropocene where mankind have gradually disconnected themself from the living world. A common responsibility then encourages designers to reinvent our urban environments through new project approaches. These are facing a paradox, between a technical revolution and a call for resilience.
The exploration of Scandinavian culture reveals ways to integrate nature and the living into everyday life. A form of cohabitation that ease designers to detach themselves from the classic patterns of a project. In this way, the SLA office in Copenhagen is involved in the realization of architectural and urban projects while exploring new methods of approaches.
This singular case is an opportunity to rethink more generally how important is nature in a project? Can it become the starting point for a reconciliation between city and nature?
